Floor sink

Abstract

A floor sink configured to be installed in a support surface includes a body including a first end, and a second end opposite the first end and configured to receive a pipe. The floor sink further includes a cavity extending through the body, and a flange coupled to the first end of the body and extending away from the cavity. The flange is configured to engage the support surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A floor sink configured to be installed in a support surface, the floor sink comprising:
 a body including a first end, and a second end opposite the first end and configured to receive a pipe; 
 a cavity extending through the body; and 
 a flange coupled to the first end of the body and extending away from the cavity, wherein the flange is configured to engage the support surface, and wherein the flange includes a surface; and 
 a plurality of ribs extending between the surface of the flange and an outer surface of the body. 
 
     
     
       2. The floor sink of  claim 1 , wherein the flange is annular. 
     
     
       3. The floor sink of  claim 1 , wherein the flange is rectangular. 
     
     
       4. The floor sink of  claim 1 , wherein the flange includes a radially extending wall and an axially extending wall. 
     
     
       5. The floor sink of  claim 4 , further comprising a channel positioned between the radially extending wall and the axially extending wall. 
     
     
       6. The floor sink of  claim 1 , further comprising a ledge protruding along an inner surface body. 
     
     
       7. The floor sink of  claim 6 , further comprising a grate positioned within the body, wherein the grate is positioned on the ledge. 
     
     
       8. The floor sink of  claim 6 , further comprising a strainer positioned within the body, wherein the strainer engages the ledge. 
     
     
       9. A floor sink configured to be installed in a support surface, the floor sink comprising:
 a body including a first end, and a second end opposite the first end and configured to receive a pipe, wherein the body also includes a radially extending wall and an axially extending wall; 
 a cavity extending through the body; 
 a flange coupled to the first end of the body and extending away from the cavity, the flange including a first wall, a second wall oriented perpendicular to the first wall, and a channel formed between the first wall and the second wall; and 
 a plurality of ribs extending between the axially extending wall and the second wall. 
 
     
     
       10. The floor sink of  claim 9 , wherein the first wall extends perpendicular to the axially extending wall, and the second wall extends parallel to the axially extending wall. 
     
     
       11. The floor sink of  claim 9 , wherein the axially extending wall includes a first height, and the flange includes a second height, wherein the first height is greater than the second height. 
     
     
       12. The floor sink of  claim 11 , wherein the second height is measured from a first end of the second wall to a second end of the second wall.
